Hysteretic magnetoresistance (MR) is often used as a signature of ferromagnetism in conducting oxide thin films and heterostructures. Here, magnetotransport is investigated in a non-magnetic uniformly La-doped SrSnO3 film grown using hybrid molecular beam epitaxy. A 12 nm La:SrSnO3/2 nm SrSnO3/GdScO3 (110) film with insulating behavior exhibited a robust hysteresis loop in the MR at T < 5 K accompanied by an anomaly at ~ +/- 3 T at T < 2.5 K. Furthermore, MR with the field in-plane yielded a value exceeded 100% at 1.8 K. Using detailed temperature-, angle- and magnetic field-dependent resistance measurements, we illustrate the origin of hysteresis is not due to magnetism in the film but rather is associated with the magnetocaloric effect of the GdScO3 substrate. Given GdScO3 and similar substrates are commonly used in complex oxide research, this work highlights the importance of thermal coupling to processes in the substrates which must be carefully accounted for in the data interpretation for thin films and heterostructures utilizing these substrates.

We measured the chemical and magnetic depth profiles of a single crystalline (La$_{1-x}$Pr$_x$)$_{1-y}$Ca$_y$MnO$_{3-{delta}}$ (x = 0.52pm0.05, y = 0.23pm0.04, {delta} = 0.14pm0.10) film grown on a NdGaO3 substrate using x-ray reflectometry, electron
microscopy, electron energy-loss spectroscopy and polarized neutron reflectometry. Our data indicate that the film exhibits coexistence of different magnetic phases as a function of depth. The magnetic depth profile is correlated with a variation of chemical composition with depth. The thermal hysteresis of ferromagnetic order in the film suggests a first order ferromagnetic transition at low temperatures.
A nonlinear model representing the tribological problem of a thin solid lubricant layer between two sliding periodic surfaces is used to analyze the phenomenon of hysteresis at pinning/depinning around a moving state rather than around a statically p
inned state. The cycling of an external driving force F_ext is used as a simple means to destroy and then to recover the dynamically pinned state previously discovered for the lubricant center-of-mass velocity. De-pinning to a quasi-freely sliding state occurs either directly, with a single jump, or through a sequence of discontinuous transitions. The intermediate sliding steps are reminiscent of phase-locked states and stick-slip motion in static friction, and can be interpreted in terms of the appearance of travelling density defects in an otherwise regular arrangement of kinks. Re-pinning occurs more smoothly, through the successive disappearance of different travelling defects. The resulting bistability and multistability regions may also be explored by varying mechanical parameters other than F_ext, e.g. the sliding velocity or the corrugation amplitude of the sliders.
In-vivo, real-time study of the local and collective cellular biomechanical responses requires the fine and selective manipulation of the cellular environment. One innovative pathway is the use of photoactive bio-substrates such as azobenzene-contain
ing materials (azopolymers), with optically tunable properties. In this work we show an innovative simple method to optically stimulate cells locally, by light-excitation of an azo-polymer derivative bio-substrate. Excited cells exhibit spectacular motility and reversible area shrinkage, which is dependent on the illumination. The photomechanical mechanisms taking place at the substrate and the cell/environment mechanical phenomena require further investigation.
The RMn2O5 (R=Pr, Nd, Sm, and Eu) oxides showing magnetoelectric (ME) behavior have been prepared in polycrystalline form by a standard citrate route. The lattice parameters, obtained from the powder XRD analysis, follow the rare-earth contraction in
dicating the trivalent character of the R ions. Cusp-like anomalies in the magnetic susceptibility curve and sharp peaks in the specific heat were reported at the corresponding temperatures in RMn2O5 (R=Pr, Nd, Sm, and Eu) indicating the magnetic or electric ordering transitions.
We report a new approach to the thermal conductivity manipulation -- substrate coupling. Generally, the phonon scattering with substrates can decrease the thermal conductivity, as observed in recent experiments. However, we find that at certain regio
ns, the coupling to substrates can increase the thermal conductivity due to a reduction of anharmonic phonon scattering induced by shift of the phonon band to the low wave vector. In this way, the thermal conductivity can be efficiently manipulated via coupling to different substrates, without changing or destroying the material structures. This idea is demonstrated by calculating the thermal conductivity of modified double-walled carbon nanotubes and also by the ice nanotubes coupled within carbon nanotubes.
